Canuck2 Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 Hey team; Canuck2 checking in. ranch, nice start for our bunch. Good luck on a big buck now. General info : I'm in southern British Columbia right on the WA state border. I hunt mostly whitetails but occasionally take a mule deer too. Next week I'll be gone for awhile on a moose hunt and hope to come home with a plethora of steaks. Usually I bow hunt but most activity will be with rifle this year as I'm still coming back from shoulder surgery. Here's a sampling of the animals I've hunted. http://www.angelfire.com/bc/canuck2/sh.html OK, how about a team name? My thinker isn't firing on enough cylinders right now (bad cold) to get too creative. Suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranchand99 Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 looks like it won't take long for you to get something on the board after looking at all those pics!Any team name is fine with me.Good luck!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rad_112176 Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Hi guys. Just checking in to say Hi and let you all know a little about myself. I do most of my hunting in Southern IL, but i do hunt in Missouri and Michigan also. I have high hopes for this year since i have bow, gun, and muzzleloader tags for IL. I go to Michigan for a week of hunting for bow and gun and i also have a bow hunt scheduled for Pike County IL for late december. I am currently hunting in Missouri, but all we are seeing are some does here and there. To hot to really get on them yet. I did have a small 8 pointer on me opening morning, but he was spooked off by my brothers coming out of the woods. Not really for sure if i would have taken him or not, but that made the decision pretty easy. LOL. Well good luck to all and i will be sure to check in on a regular basis. Congrats on the doe Ranchand99.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rad_112176 Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Well guys. Next Monday is my opening day of IL bow season. It is suppose to cool down this weekend so hopefully it stays that way for Monday. I just found out some bad news about the state land where we hunt. They are not allowing anyone to leave a treestand on the property overnight anymore. This means you can pretty well only use climbers. It's ok for half of my treestand locations, but all my early season stands are in areas where you can't find a tree to climb. I am starting to check into light ladder stands that can be packed in and out. I don't really understand the rule and i have sent the ILDNR a e-mail asking if they could explain to me why they come to that decision. I called the farmer of the land we hunt in MO and he tells me that he is picking all the corn starting on Friday and finishing Saturday morning. I am trying to get home early on friday to be able to hunt in the evening. Well, I just thought i would give everyone a hunting update. How is everyone else's season going. If it hasn't opened then when does it open? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterbucks1 Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Good luck next week, sorry to hear about them not letting you keep them there over night. There might be only a select few light ladder stand out there. I know summits makes a packable ladder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hunter36 Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Hey guys Im checkin in. Sorry I didnt even realize that we had our teams yet. I've already past on some nice bucks and smoked an antelope last week so Im in the zone. Good luck to all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck2 Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Good to see you, monsterbucks1 and Hunter 36. Nice going on the antelope, 36. Any pictures? Looks like we have most of the team accounted for now. Here's hoping the holdouts will sign their contracts soon. I'll be leaving on a moose hunt early Saturday and will be gone for a week to ten days. Really excited about it and hope to have a few pictures to share when I get back. Just so you know why I'm not posting for awhile. Good luck out there, mates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfinator Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Checking in; this is the first time I've ever done something like this. Never entered a contest in my 40 something years. I've only been hunting for 4 years (Buckee is my hunting partner/mentor), so am still learning the ropes. Our season started at the beginning of September where I live on Vancouver Island Canada. Been a little late getting my tags (we have an abundance of Black tails here), but I am salivating at the idea of getting out there. Hope I can help the team with a good buck or two.

rad_112176 Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Thanks monsterbucks1 for the info. I will be sure to check into the summit stand. Hello there Wilfinator and Hunter36. Welcome aboard. It sounds like we have a pretty good team going here. Good luck on that hunt Canuck. We have been talking on going on a moose hunt for the past couple of years. We are going on our first elk hunt next year and trying to decide if we go for moose or caribou next. Be sure to get us some nice pics.

craig mack Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Welcome Wilfinator. I know Buckee likes to hunt with knives (lol) what do you hunt with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck2 Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Wilfinator, good to see you here. What craig mack said - buckee teaching you to hunt like that? rad, where will you be going after your elk next year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rad_112176 Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Canuck, I am guessing you meant " for the elk hunt next year ". We are going to Colorado with a couple of friends of ours and doing a self guided hunt. We won't be working from scratch since they have been going out for the last few years. They have had some awesome bow kills the last couple of years. They probably have a 75% success rate which i thought was pretty good for a do it yourself hunt. I don't know all the details yet, but i am excited. Like i said earlier, we don't really know what we are going to hunt after that. I guess it all depends on how much money we save up. I know that the caribou hunts i have heard about people going on are fairly cheep, but the moose hunts can get up there pretty quick. Plus alot of areas you have to earn points to hunt and we haven't even really started checking on it yet. It all will be with a bow no matter where i go.
